"I was having much difficulty walking and being able to do many daily tasks. Now I can walk for miles, I take a spin class 3x per week. "

"My revision surgery was performed May 9, 2013. I was the first patient to undergo this procedure utilizing Mako robotics. Every aspect of my experience was outstanding: Staff, facilities, surgery, and recovery (orthopaedic surgery, anesthesiology, radiology, phlebotomy, medicine, physical therapy, nursing, laboratory, admitting, administrative support, kitchen, services, and more). "

"After having had a right hip replacement in Long Island that went awry and after having been on Oxycontin for 14 months with no help from my surgeon, I finally went to see Dr. Della Valle at HSS. He diagnosed my condition in about 2 minutes and I had the surgery August 31, 2011. "

"At a dance I tripped on a chair, fell on my left side, and my left femur separated from my hip. Being in much pain, the local fire department took me to a nearby hospital in Long Island where I was operated on the next day for a partial hip replacement. Everything was going great but after five weeks I developed a staph infection that put me back in the hospital for 25 days. The prosthesis was removed, I was on intravenous antibiotics for eight weeks and spent the next eight months in a wheelchair."
